If I had the power
Empowerment in Unity: Breaking Silence for Equality
Lyrics
To be yourself when they say you're wrong
To maintain authenticity despite being criticized
To live in shame
To endure disgrace for something genuine and robust
For something true and strong
An acknowledgment of the need for discussion on important issues
We need to talk about it
Expressing the necessity to address a particular matter
So don't tell me about it and who I am
Rejecting others' judgments about personal identity
You won't believe what these eyes have seen
Referencing personal experiences and challenges
A fight for life and a simple dream
Highlighting the struggles for life and basic aspirations
We need to talk about it
Reiterating the need for dialogue on important issues
So don't tell me about it and who I am
Rejecting preconceived notions about identity
Because your silence will not protect you oh no
Stressing the ineffectiveness of remaining silent
If I had the power, I'd give us a voice
Expressing a desire for empowerment to have a voice
To cut right through the silence for once have a choice
Seeking the ability to break the silence and make choices
If I could have a moment you'd see what we see
Yearning for an opportunity to share perspectives
All we wanna do is to love and live free
Desiring the freedom to love and live without constraints
If I had the power, I'd give us a chance
Expressing a wish for the power to create opportunities
I'd open every border united we'd stand
Advocating for unity by eliminating boundaries
If I had the same rights as you I'd be strong
Expressing the desire for equal rights and strength
Fight for every soul to be treated as one
Commitment to fight for equal treatment of all individuals
If I had the power
Reiteration of the desire for empowerment
Do you approve and do I fit the brief?
Raising questions about approval and conformity
Does my rainbow match your color scheme?
Questioning societal norms and expectations
We need to talk about it
Emphasizing the need for open dialogue
Cause we don't seem to talk about it
Highlighting a lack of communication on important issues
Open your mind we are all the same
Advocating for recognizing common humanity
Why do you flinch at a foreign name
Questioning biases towards unfamiliar names
We need to talk about it
Reiterating the need for discussion on societal issues
So maybe if I take it on Svenska?
Consideration of addressing issues in Swedish (Svenska)
Om jag hade makten och gränser försvann
If I had the power in Swedish, envisioning a borderless existence
Vi alla skulle leva i ingenmansland
Imagining a world where everyone lives in a neutral zone
Frihet att bestämma så jag kan va jag
Desiring the freedom to determine one's identity
Utan mina rädslor och aldrig va svag
Yearning for a life without fears and weaknesses
Om jag hade makten jag skulle förstå
Expressing a wish for understanding and empathy
O lyssna på er oro o vart ni vill nå
Listening to concerns and aspirations of others
Försöka att förändra o kämpa till slut
Committing to change and fight until the end
Ge alla människor chansen att fullt leva ut
Providing everyone the chance to fully express themselves
If I had the power, I'd give us a voice
Reiterating the desire for empowerment and a voice
To cut right through the silence for once have a choice
Seeking to break the silence for meaningful choices
If I could have a moment you'd see what we see
Desiring a moment to share diverse perspectives
All we want to do is to love and live free
Expressing the universal desire for love and freedom
If I had the power, I'd give us a chance
Wishing for the power to create opportunities for all
I'd open every border united we'd stand
Advocating for unity by eliminating borders
If I had the same rights as you I'd be strong
Expressing the desire for equal rights and strength
Fight for every soul to be treated as one
Commitment to fight for the equal treatment of every soul
If I had the power
Reiteration of the desire for empowerment
